iPodLinux is a µClinux-based Linux distribution "free-running" targeted specifically to run on Apple Inc.'s iPods. Besides the kernel, iPodLinux features as a primary component podzilla and podzilla2, applications which provide:

An iPod-like interface

Video playback with sound

Support for AAC, MP3 and basic OGG playback (4G & 5G Music Player Daemon is malfunctional, but can be fixed).

Recording through audio jack at much higher quality than Apple's firmware

Ability to play the games Doom and Doom II (and presumably any Doom Total Conversion; Chex Quest for instance), as well as games for the Nintendo Game Boy (with appropriate add-on software, for instance iBoy) and Game Boy Advance (this is unstable and in Beta stages)

Color scheme support

Many emulators, such as iBoy (Gameboy Emulator), iNES (Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator), iDarcNES (port of the multiple system emulator DarcNES), and iGPSP (Game Boy Advance emulator).
